The table shows the number of points won in the 2007–08 Cross-Country Skiing World Cup for men and women.

A skier's best results in 18 distance races and 9 sprint races counts towards the overall World Cup totals.

All distance races, included individual stages in Tour de Ski (which counts as 50% of a normal race) and the total World Cup Final, count towards the distance standings. All sprint races, including the sprint races during the Tour de Ski (which counts as 50% of a normal race) and the first race of the World Cup final, count towards the sprint standings.

The Nations Cup ranking is calculated by adding each country's individual competitors' scores and scores from team events. Relay events count double (see World Cup final positions), with only one team counting towards the total, while in team sprint events two teams contribute towards the total, with the usual World Cup points (100 to winning team, etc.) awarded.
